 Look at a May 40 here hanging out at Kudji Beach Monday afternoon about 5 p.m. January 16th and thinking about family, friends and careers. And before my father got married he told his two wives that his career would always come first meaning his Christian missionary, he wasn't just a career, it was a mission. So I like that analogy, think of a hot stove with four burners. You can't really run off four burners at four bore. So one burner represents family, one burner represents career, one burner represents friends, one burner represents health. Most of us can only keep really two burners going for bore. Usually we choose family and work. So my father put his career first and it's a little bit like that song, we'll get together soon son, right? Cat and the Cradle, Cat Stevens, we'll be together soon. The boy who remembers his father never has time for him and then when the boy grows up and the father now wants to spend time with him, the boy tells him, oh dad, we'll get together soon. Sure dad, we'll get together soon. So because my father put his career first, I kind of thought that was normal and so one of my happiest memories growing up were outside of home and I kind of thought it would be awesome to become an adult because then I could just hang out with my friends 24-7 without any interference from my parents. And when I get older, I'll just be friends because then it'll be friendship based on common things that we have in common, not just accidents. So I was kind of looking forward to just growing up and just spending time with friends rather than family. And then the older I get, the more important I realize family is. But I think I unconsciously took on my father's career first, mission first attitude. And so I'm kind of a bash. Look, what about the Revolver News interview with Donald, hearing it now on Rumble 2X? Make sure to skip past the election chatter. Okay, when does it get good, the Rumble interview with Donald Trump? At what point in the interview does it get good? So I think for some people, like my father, putting mission first, I mean putting first that thing that gets you the most love in life, right? We all tend to prefer to do things that we're really good at and not spend so much time with things we're not good at. And so some people just not so good with intimacy, connection, you know, horizontal relationships. And so when my father had so many fans available to him, perhaps, you know, the messier world of family was discouraging. So he lost the election by 31,000 votes in 2020. Yeah, I heard if somewhere between 30 and 50,000 votes got the other way, he would have won. And if he'd only appeared to have handled COVID confidently, let's say he did or didn't handle it confidently, if he'd just appeared to have handled it confidently, if he didn't have those rambling news conferences every day about COVID, he would have won. He was headed for re-election, but he really messed up with regard to how he came across in dealing with the COVID crisis. That's what cost him the election. So yeah, I'm sitting here at the park, you know, looking at a lot of happy families and just kind of thinking, I unconsciously took on from my father this idea of, oh, just be with friends. One burner represents YouTube, one burner represents Jewish conversion, one burner represents air supply. One burner represents the Dallas Cowboys who play tomorrow. So I think for some great man like my father who was regarded as a great man by thousands and thousands of people, right, how could family compete with the adulation that he got from having followers? You know, strongly committed fans. I think some people who produce content on YouTube or the great men in public life, they're so used to adulation that horizontal, familiar relationships or relationships with people who knew them before they were great, just not nearly as satisfying. And I think that's kind of what I wanted to build when I was a kid. It's like, oh, I'm going to make myself to be a great man one day. Then I won't have to mess around with those messy, awkward relationships. I won't have to remember all those crazy, stupid, awkward things that I did when I was young. I'm just going to make myself into a great man who receives excessive amounts of adulation. And now I'm older and wiser, right. I've walked about 10 miles on shabbas and as I was walking along much of it, it's like, okay, let me meditate on the principle with regard to step one acceptance and so let me accept my awkward self. Trump speaks for 46 minutes. Not sure it's exciting. Trump seems like an Alex Jones show investor. Yeah, he does because I think Alex Donald Trump, you know, turns to wherever he gets the most attention, the most love. I think, you know, we all prefer to do that, which we're good at. We all tend to grow towards attention and love. And if Donald Trump is getting more of it on the Alex Jones show or the Nick Fuentes show, then I think that's where he's going to turn. Particularly if you have no core sense of self, you're going to turn. Look, the Crow wants you to leave their turf. They want you to leave or feed them. Hey guys, I'm trying to run a high quality live stream here. But I'm reading this book, The Power Broker on Robert Moses, right. It's a book by Robert Caro. Here we go, The Power Broker, Robert Moses at the Fall of New York. So between about 1930 and 1960, Robert Moses was perhaps the most powerful man in New York City. He was a fox commissioner, a builder, a planner, a powerful figure behind the scenes. And he completely fell out with his brother. And his sister, who adored him, he completely fell out with her too. And when she wanted to get together with him, he told her, oh, I'll be at the airport. You know, you can drive several hours to see me if you like. And I can spare a few minutes for you. So his brother was like starving. His brother was in dire straits. But Robert Moses put the word out that nobody should hire his brother as the engineer. Because I think that awkward familiarity with family, people knowing you when you weren't a great man, must have worn you down. Impressive stream output, wonder what your show would be like if you stayed in Australia. Not enough tent people, mate. So, yeah, reading about Robert Moses, right? The power broker, right? So he's so loved being a power broker. He's so loved being able to make and break people. He's so loved being the most powerful man in New York City. He didn't really want to have anything to do with people who knew him when he wasn't so powerful. Or when people could have a, you know, familial pull on him. And it just reminds me kind of my, you know, fantasies when I was youth. A child that, you know, I would just grow up to be, you know, like my dad. You know, the great man who had the great following. And I wouldn't have to bother with the messy, awkward world of human relationships that I could just have followers and I could just get my adulation from them. Oh man, beware of the anti-Semitic crows. I just had the worst experience with my iPhone. Okay, so I was trying to activate text-to-speech. So I went to my iPhone and I went to accessibility and then never go on your iPhone and turn on voiceover at the top. My iPhone just went out of control and just started issuing all these commands like all the familiar ways that I'd once controlled my iPhone. You know, like Robert Moses wanted to control everything and everyone around him. I thought I had control of my iPhone, but I made the huge mistake of putting my voice over on, completely lost control of my iPhone. It just starts, you know, issuing all these orders to me. And then as I'm trying to get out of this thing, I accidentally triggered the emergency activation where if you hit the right side button, I think five times, I was trying to break out. I think I hit this right side button five times. Okay, countdown to send emergency notification. It took me about 15 minutes to get out of voiceover. So whatever you do, never activate this voiceover function under accessibility on your phone. I just wanted to activate text-to-speech, but that was an absolute nightmare. Oh, ethnicity isn't always so good. So Australia soccer leagues used to be organized on ethnic lines. So you had like a Serbian Australian club and a Croatian club and a Greek club and Italian club. So in Ontario has a public park with porta-parties, a few dozen large tents, L.A. Portland style of supporting permacams. Seems like you activated self-destruct. Yeah, I essentially activated self-destruct on my iPhone. It was a nightmare. I never, at last 15 minutes of my life, trying to pull back that voiceover function from back again to off. I'll never get that time back. Oh, anyway, so Australia's soccer leagues used to be organized primarily around ethnic lines. So it was even like the Jewish club, Greek, Italian, all these different Anglo clubs, and they would get into fights, particularly when Yugoslavia had civil war. The Australian soccer clubs, right? The best Australian athletes tend to be Croatian. The Australian soccer team used to be Australian Croatians. So when Yugoslavia descended into civil war, we'd have these pitch battles on Australia's soccer turf. So it turned out to be much better when they shifted Australia's soccer league away from having ethnic ties. So I tend to think, you know, strong in-group identity, good thing, strong ethnic identity, good thing, like organizing around what you have in common, such as ethnic identity or religious identity, that's a great thing. But it really wreaked havoc with Australia's soccer system. So now they've just got, you know, I think two clubs in Melbourne, two clubs in Sydney, completely cut ties with the ethnic element. So I know that there's, like, a soccer club in England which is, you know, reputed to be Jewish and is regarded, you know, spoken about as Jewish. But Australia's soccer league, organized by the Loewe family, Frank Loewe, I think he organized a $20 million push to bring the World Cup to Australia in 2022, but instead, Kuwait beat them out. I guess Australia didn't provide the necessary bribes. We were too Anglo-Saxon about it. But anyway, Frank Loewe was the shopping centre magnate. Hollywood's teeth are brighter than the white paint. It's the apricot sky, too, filming when he returns. So anyway, this orthodox Jewish guy, a Holocaust survivor, was a major force for removing the ethnic element of Australia's soccer clubs, turning them into more professional clubs like you have elsewhere in the world. But when Australia has ethnic soccer clubs, there's just, you know, war on the pitch. So sometimes increasing your in-group identity is not such a great thing. Usually it's a good thing. You feel stronger, you feel safer, you feel more alive, you feel more passionate. But sometimes in certain areas, right, like perhaps in the workspace and sometimes in sports and sometimes in other activities, it really helps to de-emphasise your in-group identity, certainly help Australia's soccer league have to completely remove the ethnic element, make it more professional, and thank God there was a Loewe family in Frank Loewe who was able to assist them and fund them towards removing the ethnic element. Bye-bye.
